I hope I win the lottery. If I don't, I'll be bitterly disappointed. The really weird part of this: I never buy lottery tickets! It's too much of a long shot. So, I worked hard all my life, tried to save my money, and after a lot of years putting in my time I retired. I'm not rich, but I have...

Why on earth would the Vikings pay Cousins "All That Money"? In the time he was here previously he never led the Vikings to a championship. Also, a great wide receiver can make a mediocre QB look good. I read that on Gopher Hole. And, speaking of "All That Money", we have Justin Jefferson. So...

The SEC used to have a built-in advantage in preseason rankings — and in the rankings in general — and they loudly celebrated their superior status; "It Just Matters More" is a statement of that claim to primacy. The recent results on the field, head-to-head, have blown that claim of SEC...

This should be interesting...

Brilliant post. I'm frankly amazed that some folks don't seem to grasp this. This also applies to the infamous preseason polls. Teams with a high ranking early in the season often appear to reap the benefit of those accolades even after it becomes apparent that they were very over rated from...

I hope you're not trying to somehow equate the Arkansas football program to Gopher football. Since 2017 when Fleck arrived, Minnesota is 66-44. Since 2017, Arkansas (in comparison) is 40-69. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/arkansas/index.html

I agree with most of this. I don't think you fire a coach simply because he hasn't achieved what Cignetti has. That's a ridiculously high bar. If you're disappointed every time your team fails to make the 12 team playoff bracket, or fails to win the National Championship, you are almost...

Andy Reid was 130-93 in Philadelphia, with a 10-9 record in the playoffs in 9 playoff appearances, 0-1 in the Super Bowl. The Eagles fired him. Reid went to Kansas City, and we know how that has turned out. Is Reid a good, bad or mediocre coach?

Re: the bold italics... It sounds as though you prefer the Wisconsin approach — keep firing coaches until you win a championship — over the Iowa approach — stick with a coach who has consistently produced a solid result. Iowa finished number 17 in the final poll yesterday. Wisconsin didn't even...

If anybody here knows where the next Cignetti is, they should point him out. The question isn't where is he; the real question is who is he. Who is this Cignetti-level (2-for-2 playoff participant, national champion) coach available to take over the Gophers program right now?

From Hawkeye Wire: Knutson started all 11 games this past season, finishing with eight interceptions to rank second in all of Division II. Knutson also led Southwest Minnesota State with six pass breakups to total 14 passes defensed on the season, ranking 15th nationally in total passes...

That's what she said.

With 50 rushing attempts, I'm not sure there was all that much deception and trickeration involved. More like, "Here we come, we're coming right at you. See if you can stop us."

Hawkeye Wire take on him... https://hawkeyeswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/hawkeyes/football/2026/01/02/iowa-football-offers-transfer-portal-parker-knutson-visit/87996278007/

50 (FIFTY?!?!) rushing attempts vs only 16 (!) passing attempts? Is this Army, Navy or Air Force? https://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup/_/gameId/401769072
